The absolute best neurologist. Takes the time to listen. Knows what he is talking about and teaches me how to get better.

He is a bit direct. (if you don't discibe your questions or responses clearly he could respond in a way that gets under your skin a bit.)

Dr. Samuel explained everything he was testing, the consequences, and discussed many other related subjects as he ran the tests. I thought his bedside manner was great. Would recommend him to anyone.

This man has horrible bedside manner, he is rude and condisending. When I met him I absolutely did not want to go to him but I needed to get an EMG so I scheduled an app. I had to call and get my results a few times and when he finallt called me back he asked "why" are you calling? Then he told me what he thought I had and told me to look it up on the internet!!!!!! When I asked questions about my diagnoses he was LESS than helpful. This review is the short form. I wound up getting so upset I had to hang up on him....
